Implemented Search Syntax

• Each search is comprised of a matcher and and optional filter.
• A matcher determines the type of AST node we are searching for, and filters further filter results.
• The syntax is {matcher}|{filter}

Implemented matchers

• func, struct, class
• You can optionally specify a Swift Regex to search by the node identifier.
• E.g. All classes ending with "Manager": class:/Manager$/

Implemented filters

• modifiers:
  • Search a matched nodes modifiers as a regex.
  • Example: Matching a function that specifies private or internal: func:/myFunc/|modifiers:/private|internal/

Proposed Search Syntax

Note: These are proposed search terms, and may not all be implemented yet.

func:/my.*/
func:/myFunc/|parent:struct:/MyStruct/
func:/myFunc/|returning:/String/
struct|implementing:/MyProcotol/
func|modifiers:/private/
class|modifiers:/internal/

TODO

• Add tests
